The Albatross (1999)
Entertaining, good for some quick laughs
I was surprised to see such great work from a brave film student who decided not to produce the usual 2 minute clip but to actually develop a story with strong characters. The film is not too serious or goofy, it just has a good time examining a situation that many teens have had some version of. The characters work well and provide a lot of comedy to the simple plot. I can't wait until this one comes out on DVD and look forward to Gauger's next flick.
Star Wars: Episode I - The Phantom Menace (1999)
It was better than I expected.
I heard from some friends that the movie wasn't that good and there was too much hype, so I walked into the theater already critical, but I still loved it. It was different enough from the others to be original, but there was no doubt that it was a part of the Star Wars saga with its style and numerous subtle connections to episodes 4, 5, and 6. I liked how some scenes were shot like they were in the other movies. The special effects mixed perfectly into the movie without taking away from the story. If you are considering watching the film, see it.
Omnibus (1997)
makes a small situation very interesting
Omnibus is a great short film that takes an ordinary situation and gets a lot out of it. It has an entertaining comic mood to it while still portraying some serious issues. A good flick to watch if you need to be entertained for a few minutes.
